NOTICE
•
The Honda engine is equipped with a low oil sensor
to prevent engine damage. When it senses a low oil
condition (ie. operating on an exceptionally steep
slope) the engines shuts down. Condition must be
corrected before engine can be restarted (see
engine operator’s manual for more information).
OPERATION
Pre–Operation Check
Visually check all moving parts and all fasteners, if loose
or broken, tighten or replace. Check for broken or bent
tines, replace if necessary.
Lubricate all fittings after every four hours of aerating,
using a pressurized gun with a standard lithium base
lubricant. Wipe off fittings before and after lubricating.
Check engine crankcase and gear reduction case oil lev-
els with engine resting in a level position. Add oil if neces-
sary.
Follow the recommendations of the engine manufacturer
for the correct type and amount of oil. Fill the fuel tank
according to engine manufacturer specifications.
WARNING
!
•
Gasoline is extremely flammable and highly
explosive under certain conditions. Always stop
the engine and do not smoke or allow open
flames or sparks when refueling. BE SURE to
reinstall fuel cap after refueling.
•
NEVER start or run the engine inside where
exhaust fumes can collect. Carbon monoxide
present in the exhaust is an odorless and deadly
gas.
•
DO NOT operate equipment without shields in
place. DO NOT make adjustments or perform any
maintenance while the engine is running.
•
Before operating, check the area and remove any
object which may present a safety hazard or
damage the equipment.
•
This unit is not designed to be used on steep
slopes. To prevent injury and/or damage to
equipment use extreme caution when operating
near terraces or hilly terrain. Travel up and down
slopes at a 45
°
angle rather than across, to pre-
vent unit from tipping over. DO NOT release
clutch handle on a slope, this will cause free
wheeling, allowing unit to roll back down the
slope.
NOTICE
•
Never cross hard objects or surfaces (sidewalks,
driveways, stepping stones, etc.) with tines in down
position.
•
Always drain water tank for winter storage. Freezing
water may rupture the tank.
Aerating
For best performance and maximum tine penetration
lawn should be thoroughly watered the day before aera-
tion.
Rotate water tank on front of unit until filler plug is posi-
tioned at the top. Remove plug, fill tank with water and
replace the plug. Plug is located on left side of unit. See
Figure 13.
